The Room

America can listen. America is forbidden to watch. New York, 1963. For thirteen years, the Aldridge Act has kept moving pictures out of American homes. Government-certified receivers deliver the news, the weather, music, and official advice. They also listen back. Assistant Counsel Charlotte "Charlie" Prudhomme discovers that private conversations are being collected, reviewed, and used to decide who will be pressured next. Charlie finds the proof. Then she is killed. Walter Miller must follow a trail of recordings, ledgers, official broadcasts and hidden film to expose the truth. The Room launches the six-book alternate-history suspense series The Transmission Era. The linked retail edition is listed as The Transmission Era: Transmission One.
